“The gaffer is always raising the bar as far as it can go,” Brown said. “He was delighted with that performance in midweek against Dundee. But there is always room for improvement and here’s hoping we can do that on Saturday.

“We always go confident. We always go there with a belief that we can win anywhere we go and I think that is why we have done so well in the last season and a half.”

Much has been made of the injury problems Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha has ahead of the lunchtime kick-off.

Captain Lee Wallace and centre-back Danny Wilson are both out with respective groin and calf injuries.

Experienced Portuguese defender Bruno Alves faces a race against time to be fit after picking up a calf complaint, as does fellow defender Declan John with a thigh problem. If Alves fails to recover, it could mean a first start for teenager Ross McCrorie.

Brown was not too worried about who will line up for the hosts, however, saying: “Until we see their team an hour and a half before the game we will just worry about ourselves, getting focused and getting ready for Saturday.”
